A. u. Hind.. Of OxEofd. vi. In

old .,sllloa shaped ani eolored exactly
like hi. four.year.old, for which he re'
fused 5000. year ago Both colts
are rsngy built, good gated. brown with
white hind feet. .,rip faces. and each one
has white eye. They will be very close
ly matched, and will command large
price on accoun, OF their odd markings.
The opinion generally prevails among
breeders that small mares should be mat.
ed with the larges, siallion' to be found
Ia order to insure size in the offspring,
bu, mos, experienced hor'emen cay that
such q course Of breeding will resal, !
producing Ill proportional colts ,hl, 10.
stead Of having inherited the two opPo-
site qualities OF the sire Aad dam IN an
equal degree, 10th being harmonously-
blended in the of,pring, have perhaps
taken the long legs and large head OF the
sire with the small body Of the dam, OF
else the large body Of the sire and small
.hor, legs Of the dam. These writer's
argue ,ha, breeders should avoid the
crossing together OF extremes, either IN
size. shape or temperament. This IS
subject that horsemen would do well to
study up. This theory will apply also to
q certain extent to the crossing OF differ
en-, strains Of blood. for while We believe
that the best class OF roads,ors and iro,-
tiers can be ob,Aiaed by crossing the diff
ferent families. such as the descendants
Of Morgan with those Of Justin Morgan
and the Pilots. Clays. etc. yet we be-
lieve that the sire sholld have lowing
10 hi, veins .. many strains Of the b.ood
OF some one distinguished ancestor {"
possible, and the turf history has pfo'ea
that as q rule the mos. prepoieni sizes OF
the Hamble,onian family have been those
stations that traced to Imp. Messenger
through several different channels. such
ss Almon,, Belmont and q score OF 9th.
er, and ths, the creates, Messengers
traced back number Of times TO Justin
Morgan.
In q future article We will cite some
instances to Prove the truth OF this a'ser'
ton. I, Is we'll known that cross be-
tween two diferent breed, ofs~ine, sheep
or cattle results 10 producing strong.
thrifty. quick. growing animals. But all
intelligen, breeder, OF this class of ani-
mails argue that tbs sire should be pure
bred. OF coune We cannot have pure
bred stations ystof any one trOtiing fam
lily, but some approach nearer to II than
others. ~ H. MANN
